I have been having trouble clamping my vice to the table at the fly tying club. This is due to the shape of the edge of the table. I have been looking on the net to see what is available, but the price of what is on the market is over the top. So I made my own. This is a prototype. Also swmbo likes it nice and tidy.
Nice piece of work- what is the wood? beech?
No its oak base mahogany up stand scrape cuttings that i have had sitting collecting dust. :8)
Thank you Gary.
Nice looking Gasman. Taking orders? :D

If you would like to see the base for yourself , I can have it at the Glasgow casting club on sunday.
Thanks Gary :8)
Well done Gasman a neat bit of work.
Thank for your comments.
I was just watching my daughter having her bed time snack. She has this snack on a try with a bean bag on the bottom of it. It moulds to you leg.
Sat the base on top of the try. I can now tie any where in comfort. :8)
Looks very similar to my JVice base

Great - much better than a clamp or a traditional pedestal!

It is similar Aliferste. I like the recesses. Thanks for the idea.
And I glad to say that this is made in Scotland. :worms
I have made some adjustment to the vice base, after talking to people from the fly tying club and the casting club.
always envious of a gent that can rout nice neat circles.
Very nice indeed.
You have made a very nice job of that base gasman.
Thank you gentlemen for comments.
Here is a better photo.
THanks Gary :8)
Hi Gasman,
I saw this thread before and meant to ask but I was wondering why you routed the two circles and the rectangle in the later model.
Are they just recesses for hooks, beads etc,. ?
Hi guest
Yes they are recessed for hooks, beads etc.
I have made another fly tying station
All the best
Gary.
Very nice M8, :8)
It's something like your latest I'm hoping to knock up as a bit of a prototype. :wink:
